The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1292 - 380: Colin's "Opportunistic Grab"_3

Of course, he could also guess that behind Merk there must be a professor or sage supporting him; the ownership of Void Realm resources couldn't possibly be determined by a young master without any background.

But precisely because of this, he actually had the chance to use the research access of the 440th Void Realm as a bargaining chip, to negotiate with whoever is backing this young master—

Aren't you all waiting for me to make a mistake?

Now the opportunity has come.

Luo Yan didn't need to know who this person was; he only needed to know that the other party was interested in the Void Realm resources he held.

Of course—

This sentence was unnecessary to tell Professor Hector.

After all, in Hector's view, the 440th Void Realm was already in his pocket; he would never agree to use it for a gamble in a "low-win prospect" opportunity.

Even if the 440th Void Realm never belonged to him.

"... Go try it, Professor Hector. Just say it's me, Prince Colin, who wishes to take over this mess to relieve the Academic State's worries. I think Master Merk will be happy to do a favor. And I promise him, if any achievements are made from the 178th Void Realm, his name will be on the paper."

He returned the newspaper to Hector, gently patted the latter's shoulder, then got up with a smile from the soft sofa.

"I await your good news."

Having said that, he turned and left the office, closing the heavy oak door behind him.

The office returned to silence.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Professor Hector wore a look of having mixed emotions, feeling troubled as the Prince had given him yet another tough problem.

"What exactly does this guy want to do?"

Could it be that he's truly addicted to researching the Void Realm?!

Hector muttered softly, putting down the newspaper.

And just at this moment, he suddenly realized, when Prince Colin spoke to him just now, he used a tone as if delegating tasks from a superior to an inferior.

Realizing this, he was both amused and annoyed, showing an expression of mixed feelings.

This Prince truly didn't treat him as an outsider, using his subordinates as if they were his own, and now even he had become his man?!

"By Holy Light... I beg of you, quickly send this guy somewhere to bother others!"

…

Professor Hector's prayers were bound to be futile.

After all, he even got the object of his prayers wrong.

No matter how this "quiet" professor was troubled by Prince Colin's orders, Luo Yan leisurely strolled back to the laboratory in a rather good mood.

The Academic State's high-level meeting not only did not hinder his plan, but instead provided him with an opportunity to place additional bets.

If he can resolve the "crisis" of the 178th Void Realm, proving that the problem is with people rather than the route, his prestige within this High Tower will undoubtedly reach a new height.

As for what to do if he fails...

Honestly, he really didn't care.

As the saying goes, it's still someone else's bicycle after all.

Pushing open the door to the "Magic Science" laboratory, Luo Yan felt as if he had stepped from a gloomy winter day into a bustling summer.

The academic-rich "Holy Land" was as lively as ever, not diminished by his brief departure or return.

The young apprentices were in groups of threes and fives, arguing over their respective topics, with a vibrant enthusiasm filling the air.

Luo Yan was very pleased.

Although his mentality was no longer young, he still believed this is how young people should be.

His gaze subconsciously shifted to a corner of the laboratory, where the teaching scene he "arranged" before leaving was located.

Ilana was seen seated at an oak table, patiently writing something on a draft paper.

Beside her, Miss Castellion was leaning forward with unprecedented focus, keeping a close eye on the pen tip's movement, afraid of missing any detail.

It was clear that she truly admired it.

"... Therefore, we cannot directly assume that infinitesimal is zero, but rather understand it as a 'process,' a trend infinitely approaching zero."

Ilana's voice was clear and steady, she gently tapped a symbol on the draft paper with the end of her feather pen, "This symbol 'lim' is used to describe this 'process.' You see, when x approaches a, the function value approaches L infinitely..."

Considering Ophelia had missed too many classes, she explained in detail, almost starting from the most basic parts, dissecting and feeding it to her.

Master Colin rarely taught in such detail.

His lessons were imaginative and free-spirited, just like the way he used a prism to dissect the Holy Light in the first class, offering a direct impact to the soul.

Rather than telling his students the secrets within, he preferred to lead them through a door, sparking their curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

But to say he taught deeply, not really, much depended on the students figuring it out themselves after class.

Trying to understand his doctrine just by attending class would be nearly impossible.

Instead of a preacher or an explainer, he was more like an inspiring enlightener full of motivation.

"Oh, I see..."

Ophelia sighed softly in enlightenment, her sapphire-like eyes shining with the light of epiphany.

"I never understood before because I treated it as a fixed number! It turns out... it's a 'state'!"

She looked up at Ilana with genuine admiration, without a trace of awkwardness or reluctance, replaced by heartfelt respect.
